οὐκοῦν καὶ κτλ. Arist. Pol. l.c. 1313^{b} 18 ff. καὶ τὸ πένητας ποιεῖν τοὺς ἀρχομένους τυραννικὸν ὅπως—πρὸς τῷ καθ᾽ ἡμέραν ὄντες ἄσχολοι ὦσιν ἐπιβουλεύειν—καὶ ἡ εἰσφορὰ τῶν τελῶν, οἶον ἐν Συρακούσαις: ἐν πέντε γὰρ ἔτεσιν ἐπὶ Διονυσίου τὴν οὐσίαν ἅπασαν εἰσενηνοχέναι συνέβαινεν. Cf. Grote l.c. p. 223. πρὸς τῷ. A majority of MSS have πρὸς τό, which is also the older reading (see cr. n.); but εἰμι πρός τι in this sense lacks authority, and is inherently improbable. Cf. Phaedr. 249 D and IX 585 A, X 604 C, D note ὅπως -- πολεμίοις: sc. πολέμους τινὰς ἀεὶ κινεῖ as before. ἕτοιμον in line 7 is impersonal—a rare usage, for which cf. Epp. 7. 333 A and Eur. H. F. 86.
